the game against the Steelers provides a bit of a barometer for how opponents could attack the Jets long forward. Roethlisberger got everyone involved, with 10 receivers catching at least 1 pass in the game.

So you're telling me, once Revis is gone the way to beat them is by spreading the ball around?

Revis going 1 v 1 against opposing best receivers every week is a myth._________________

Ryan admitted the Jets have prepared essentially two defensive game plans for the Dolphins: one with Revis and one without. “Having a special player like Darrelle, we ask him to do a lot different things,” Ryan said. “A lot of times we put him one-on-one with a guy on the team’s best receiver and roll coverage away from him. He’s just that kind of guy, so sometimes you’ll see a different type of game plan.”

I would be even more interested in the difference between our offense now and when Vick first took over and went like 8 weeks without a turnover.

From the naked eye, I think Vick ran more during that opening stint of his as the Eagles' starting QB. Now, he's sitting in the pocket much more, causing indecisiveness and staring down receivers at times (which leads to more fumbles and INTs). The threat of his run, accompanied by a more balanced set of play calls would make our offense better.

I really don't think our protection was too bad yesterday

I do. Vick took way too many hits from the pocket/post pass play (13 total) yesterday, and was sacked 5 times (not included in the 13 QB hits).

Yeh, in 2010, Vick was playing more like his Atlanta days. Now he's attempting to be a pocket QB, which just isn't natural to him.

No doubt Vick needs to run to be elite but Vick was far better than his Atlanta days. Everyone (fans and media alike) were gushing over how our coaches fixed Vick's throwing motion. In 2010, Vick was as much a pocket QB as a scrambler. I think defenses figured him out later in the season and he's never been able to adjust his game to it.

At this point, it's more important to be effective than healthy. Bring back the guy that makes electric plays and busts a game open. He'll get hurt standing in the pocket anyway...
